What Are Typical EV Maintenance Costs? | EV Connect — EV Connect
How much is your EV going to cost to maintain? There are some unexpected savings to look forward to. Discover the main EV maintenance costs.

Tesla is the only brand on the list that is a purely EV automaker so it should have the lowest maintenance costs simply because all of its vehicles are electric.
It still can have terrible build quality that does not translate into repairs. Gaps, mismatched panels and poor interior quality does not translate into a repair.

Uh oh….. can a cop get arrested for breaking the law?
6. No flaming, trolling or repetitive posting. This includes consistently posting the same thing over and over or posting just to elicit a reaction instead of engaging in substantive discussion.
Yikes… it’s a shame to see such an upstanding man of the law succumb to the siren call of rule-breaking.
I guess that I could have used your warranty, when I had to replace a blown motor on my MB 300 TD !
Mary Anne had screamed "take it back", when I had replaced her VW Rabbit D, to have her more safe as a surprise to celebrate her second pregnancy after 10 years !
2-3 years later, blown engine !

It’s amazing the amount of categorically false statements that are made on this board and they mostly come from the same people.
I mean, there are stupid posts and then there are absolute dumpster fire posts.
The burglar telling you he’s not robbing your house. Some people are moronically gullible.
One of the worst dereliction of duty, I've ever heard !
Last week NYPD has 2 Patrolmen, Suspended for IA investigation.
High speed chase, no longer allowed by NYPD, on Henry Hudson Parkway at night. Stolen car.
Chased Car exits HHP and loses control off the exit ramp. Crashes into brick building at bottom of ramp. Car bursts into flames !
Driver trapped, burns to death.
Both Cops return to precinct, notify no other Cops or Superiors and go home at the end of their tour.
Cameras in car and light poles have them !
2 days later, Driver still not ID'ed from the stolen car.
These type incidents of car fires with occupants stuck in car are the worst memories from the Job !
You and all of your “ism’s”. The poster child for, wait for it, liberalism. 🤣
Seems like organization is a bit limited on the deportation front right now. At least we've figured out this dude got sent to El Salvador lol.
ICE ‘disappeared’ Venezuelan immigrant who accidentally entered Canada
Lawyers and advocates fear the government’s rushed removals may have ‘disappeared’ otherswww.the-independent.com
It’s amazing how much this troubles the media. The same media that was not troubled by the previous admin losing hundreds of thousands of kids at the border. Not troubled by a foreign prison gang being brought to our country.
Next time the Dems might reconsider flying in a Venezuelan prison gang. The cleanup isn’t always going to be pretty. They created this scenario.
I don’t like this either, but it’s hardly surprising.

Telling someone ‘great job’ does not violate any board rules. It’s a kind gesture and it clearly worked because now there’s 4 pages of tweets copy/pasted.

That is your violation, officer….
Trump tariff plans bring concern about prices, financial impact, but GOP base sees jobs long-term — CBS News poll
President Trump's approvals on economy and inflation dip, as Wall Street has one of its most volatile weeks in recent years.

Dems brought a bunch of alligators to the dog park, and are now pissed at how the alligators are being removed. They are more pissed about that than they are about the dogs that were killed by some of the alligators.
This article leaves a bunch of questions. Is it based on cost? EV batteries are costly and probably do not last the necessary years for their study. Also, that list would include all first run vehicles. I can see where reliability would be compromised.What Are Typical EV Maintenance Costs? | EV Connect — EV Connect

A big reason EVs are bad on resale value is no one wants to buy one and replace the battery.
Officer Syringe in conjunction with Trumps closed border policy is reducing crime!
Dictators can’t afford idle, hungry workers
Agree. Battery life is a big issue for both resale value and mass acceptence. If I would get another EV, I would lease it.
Main Street Media polls have been proven to be biased, time after time.
You should know better !
As evidenced by the OVER 125 MILLION Chinese that starved to DEATH at the beginning of the CCP !
There ARE Short term AND Long term issues with subjecting anyone to an EV.
Leasing costs which are $ due at signing and High monthly leasing fees ARE BOTH !
Range and necessary charging are also BOTH.
As I stated recently in a deleted thread.
Matt is making hundred's of arrests to date (01/01/25), in his Detective Unit, Major Crimes Manhattan !
2 weeks ago he made his FIRST arrest in 2025 that was just a good ole American criminal resident of NYC !
FYI: Snow White appears it finally is going to be done in the theaters in the next week or so (AMC in Phoenix only has it in one dine-in theater for 1 daily showing starting tomorrow).
Anyway the almost final box office numbers in the US and Canada are $85 million as of 4/22 after 33 days in the theaters. Budget was $250 million and breakeven was estimated at around $500 million. I don't know how it did overseas but big fiasco for Disney.
There probably will never be an honest assessment of why it failed so badly but a memo to producers, don't cast an outspoken lead actress for a children's movie. She can sing but she was a PR disaster.
However, the producers should get alot of blame for changing the story and basically bungling much of everything along the way. Not sure where Disney is heading as their woke persona is not fitting too well with their prime audience.

My trades in the PREVIOUS 3 Months are UP 64 % on average !
Just closed out this morning, 1 trade made on past Friday and was UP 53 %
Investors like Me AND Fleck APPROVE !
I didn't check the Dow once before entering or closing the trades !
You can find some very good deals on leasing EVs at times. Much better than taking the depreciation hit.
Nonstop arrests here. I would assume many have left this area voluntarily, too.
I’d hate to think about the $ and resources that were used bringing these people in the last few years, and now sending them out.
Below is a concise, data-driven overview of the United States economy since Donald Trump’s second inauguration on January 20, 2025, based on available information up to April 24, 2025. I aim to present key economic indicators and developments neutrally, focusing on measurable metrics and avoiding speculative or polarized narratives. Where data is mixed or uncertain, I note it.
- Economic Growth (GDP):
- Real GDP grew at an annualized rate of 2.3% in Q4 2024, reflecting solid growth before Trump’s inauguration.
- Post-inauguration, Q1 2025 forecasts have deteriorated, with the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model estimating a contraction of -2.4% annualized as of late February 2025, driven by policy uncertainty and tariff impacts.
- Some sources note the economy inherited by Trump was robust, with 2.8% annualized growth in 2024, but recent policy shifts have clouded the outlook.
- Unemployment and Labor Market:
- The unemployment rate was 4.1% in December 2024, near full employment, with 256,000 jobs added that month.
- Since inauguration, reports indicate softening labor market conditions, with layoffs rising and hiring slowing, though specific unemployment figures for Q1 2025 are not yet finalized.
- Construction job growth remains strong, at its fastest pace since Trump’s first term, but manufacturing job growth is negative, though declining at the slowest rate since 2016.
- Inflation and Consumer Prices:
- Inflation was 2.7% in December 2024, above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target but down from earlier peaks.
- In March 2025, consumer prices fell month-over-month for the first time in nearly five years, driven by lower energy, gas, and transportation costs, with core inflation at its lowest since March 2021.
- However, tariffs implemented since February 2025 (e.g., 25% on Canada/Mexico, 10% on China) are expected to exert upward pressure on prices, with forecasts predicting PCE inflation of 2.4–2.5% for 2025.
- Stock Market Performance:
- The S&P 500 was down 15.6% from inauguration to April 7, 2025, with a 17.6% drop from its February 19 peak, nearing bear market territory.
- Volatility spiked post-inauguration due to tariff announcements and policy uncertainty, with $3–10 trillion in global equity value erased in early 2025.
- The Dow Jones fell from 45,000 to 38,000, and Bitcoin dropped 30% from $109,000 to $77,000 since January 20.
- Consumer and Business Sentiment:
- Consumer confidence dropped sharply, with the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index falling nearly 16% in February 2025 compared to a year ago, driven by tariff and inflation concerns.
- Business sentiment also weakened, with the National Federation of Independent Business optimism index falling to 100.7 in February 2025, reflecting uncertainty over tariffs and policy shifts.
- The Economic Policy Uncertainty Index hit 234 in February 2025, its highest since the pandemic, correlating with slower investment and economic activity.
- Trade and Tariffs:
- Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and 10% on China starting mid-February 2025, with additional 54% tariffs on Chinese imports announced in April.
- These tariffs have disrupted global trade, with retaliatory measures from China and Canada (e.g., 25% electricity surcharges by Ontario). Economists warn of higher consumer prices and slower growth.
- The International Monetary Fund cut its global growth forecast, citing U.S. tariffs as a drag on the U.S. and global economies.
- Fiscal Policy and Debt:
- The federal government faces a funding deadline in March 2025 and a debt ceiling crisis, with the Biden administration taking accounting measures to avoid default in January.
- The national debt was $36.2 trillion at the end of 2024, with the 2024 deficit at $2 trillion. Trump’s proposed tax cuts and spending reductions remain under debate, with no resolution yet.
- Congress approved cuts to Medicaid and food assistance to fund tax cuts, raising concerns about social safety nets.
- Investment and Policy Initiatives:
- Trump signed an executive order on March 31, 2025, creating the United States Investment Accelerator to streamline investments over $1 billion, claiming $3 trillion in private investments secured.
- Deregulation efforts and energy policies (e.g., “drill, baby, drill” and halting Green New Deal measures) aim to boost fossil fuel production, though impacts on investment are not yet quantifiable.
- Economic Outlook and Risks:
- Forecasters warn of slower growth or potential recession in 2025, driven by tariffs, deportations, and federal layoffs, though some argue the economy’s resilience may mitigate these risks.
- Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell noted in March 2025 that the economy remains “in a good place” but faces elevated uncertainty, with consumer spending holding up despite low sentiment.
- Partisan divides persist, with some sources praising Trump’s policies for curbing inflation and others criticizing them as erratic and inflationary.
Laughable. The movement is a correction of the markets from what Perot called “that giant sucking sound, Larry.” Jobs. You got fat on America losing its manufacturing base and becoming a service industry. The unfettered globalism you suck up to destroyed the greatest strength our country can have. We are beholden to other countries for our goods, including items of importance to our national defense. You keep using isolation, as if that’s actually a thing. It isn’t. We don’t need to be the world’s police. That isn’t “isolationism”. Go bury yourself in Mother Jones more while discussing some other movement as anti-intellectual. There isn’t anything more anti-intellectual than government censorship of social media, a ministry of truth and telling the people the border is secure when it was obviously not secure. You voted for anti-intellectual extreme socialism and a brain dead moron who wasn’t even running the country.
..."at times"....the 2 KEY WORDS !!
Like getting a used EV from the Hertz fleet of EV's that they liquidated last year !
I've mentioned Mary Anne's Dentist, he and his Wife were fall leaf viewing in New Hampshire ( people around here go for drives to see the fall changing leaf colors ) (( ??? )).
Their EV ran out of range and they slept overnight in the EV until AAA could service the car ! (Not a Tesla.)
Check with your tax advisor before acquiring an EV.
